As with most activities, there is a financial
commitment to studying martial arts. Below is a general list of
expenses you may encounter.

| Class fee |
Price varies
depending on location |
$20-$50/month |
| Gi |
This is the
traditional uniform worn by martial artists and can be ordered
through your instructor. If you wish to order it yourself, check
with the instructor first to make sure you order the correct
style. Children outgrow their gi and will periodically need new
ones. |
$20.00 (approx.) |
| Belt tests |
For belts yellow
through brown |
$60.00 each |
| Black belt tests |
The Southeast
Region holds black belt tests every March at the Isle of
Palms/Charleston, SC. Students test in front of Grand Master Son
and Master Emmel. Although it is possible to drive to Charleston
for the day (4 hr trip), most students prefer to arrive the day
before. Students are responsible for making their own travel
arrangements. Estimated expense for travel (which includes hotel
room for one night, food, and gas) is $200.00. Keep in mind that
the test is divided into two parts and occur on two different
dates meaning that you will need to travel twice to Charleston
(alternatively, once to Augusta, GA and once to Charleston).
For 1st degree black = $270 + 10; 2nd degree black = 320 + 20; 3rd
degree black = 370 + 30; 4th degree black = 320 + 40 (periodically
these prices change, so always consult your instructor for the
latest fee) |
